This time the emperor finally heard it, but he still did not turn around, and said to the little eunuch in a calm tone:

"Pass him in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Yes," the little eunuch replied, stood up and hurried out of the courtyard.

The emperor was thinking about his thoughts: Kou Liancai was right, most of the ministers in the court are conservative and unenterprising people, if I want to be strong, the resistance from them will be very great, and usually only Master Weng can share my worries.

After the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, Weng Tonghe was quite depressed in his heart, what was the reason why I was so confused by the defeat of the Great Qing Dynasty? He asked himself more than a million times.

Just when he was depressed, a bright spot flashed through his brain, and he remembered a note, which was handed by a man named Kang Youwei a few years ago. He advocated changing the law to make it stronger, and he also predicted that Japan would have to make early preparations for peeping into Korea and Taiwan.

At that time, this fold fell into the hands of Weng Tonghe, but he didn't think so, so he didn't play the emperor. However, unfortunately Kang Youwei was right, which made Weng Tonghe very ashamed to think about it now, so he decided to go to the Nanhai Hall where Kang Youwei stayed to ask to see Kang Youwei.

But unfortunately, Kang Youwei went out, Weng Tong and Bai took a trip, so he returned to his official residence stupidly.

I didn't want to think that the next day, Kang Youwei came to Weng Tonghe's residence, and Weng Tonghe warmly received him.

The two of them talked tirelessly about the change of law that they were of common concern, and they talked tirelessly, from three o'clock in the afternoon until the sun set.

Kang Youwei saw that it was getting late, so he got up and said goodbye to Weng Tonghe, Weng Tonghe wanted to keep him any longer, but he thought that when they were talking, there were already three or four groups of people snooping in front of the door, so he gave up.

He stood up to see off the guests, and at the same time held Kang Youwei's hand and said:

"You and I met for the first time, but I knew you ten years ago, and we should be old friends. Regarding the change of the law, I hope you can actively give the emperor ideas and work together for the world's ZTE. ”

After saying this, Weng Tonghe pondered for a while, and then said: "Let's tell you the truth, the emperor has no power, and the queen mother is suspicious everywhere, and he is not allowed to see the ministers." ”

Sending Kang Youwei away, Weng Tonghe was very uneasy, he decided to go to see Emperor Guangxu, so he came to Emperor Guangxu's bedroom at such a night.

When Emperor Guangxu saw Weng Tonghe walking in, he turned his face to the door. Weng Tonghe walked in, saw the emperor's unhappy face, thought that someone had angered him, and quickly knelt down:

"Weichen Weng Tonghe knocks to see the emperor!"

"Get up!" At the same time, Guangxu pointed to a stool next to the table and motioned for him to sit down. Weng Tonghe and Guangxu were very casual when they were alone, so they sat down as they pleased.

When Emperor Guangxu saw Weng Tonghe sitting down, he asked:

"Master, can you think about how I can be strong?"

Originally, Weng Tonghe came for this matter, and he didn't want the emperor to be thinking about it, so he couldn't help but feel excited.

"Weichen believes that we should change the law, such as what Dongying does, to be strong."

Emperor Guangxu didn't speak, he was listening carefully to Weng Tonghe's words, so Weng Tonghe continued:

"Wechen just met Kang Changsu this afternoon, and the slave talked to him about changing the law, and he thinks that the only way to become strong is to change the law of the ancestors, establish a new law that adapts to the situation, and learn the strengths of other countries, only in this way can we get rid of the current situation."

Kang Changsu is Kang Youwei, because he calls himself Changsu, so he is sometimes called so. Emperor Guangxu didn't know who Kang Youwei was, so he asked Weng Tonghe.

"Emperor Qiqi, he is a native of Nanhai, Guangdong, and he was born in a person. The minister privately thinks that his talent is ten times better than mine, and the emperor can discuss the matter of changing the law. ”

Emperor Guangxu nodded, and then said, "It's just how can I meet him?" ”

Weng Tonghe could understand the taste, so he continued: "The slave thinks that the emperor does not have to report and ask the queen mother for everything. ”

Emperor Guangxu was shocked when he heard this, more than one person said this to him, and remembered that Concubine Zhen also said it to him, but what could he do?

With his current power in the court, he can't fight Lafayette, and when he fights with Lafayette, he can only lose, this fact can't help but make him feel uneasy.

Weng Tonghe trembled when he saw the emperor, knowing that the emperor was afraid of Lafayette, so he changed his words:

"Weichen thinks that if the emperor wants to change the law, he might as well take a look at books such as "Yongshu", "Alarm", "School Protest", and then take the opportunity to meet Kang Changsu to discuss the change of the law."

Guangxu nodded approvingly, then his expression flew away, and he said resolutely: "I must try to change the law, no matter whether Lafayette blocks it or not, I can't let the Qing Dynasty stop sending it in my hands, and I can't become a sinner of the Qing Dynasty through the ages." ”

When Weng Tonghe heard Guangxu's words, he was greatly encouraged in his heart, so he said: "Weichen must try his best to assist the emperor to change the law, and at the same time try his best to introduce Changsu to the emperor." ”

Then the monarch and the ministers talked about the real people Timothy Lee, Hurd, Ogner and others to persuade the Guangxu Emperor to change the law, and the monarchs and ministers all believed that the change of the law had become the need of the situation. The conversation lasted for two hours, and Weng Tonghe returned home when he saw that it was getting late.

Li Lianying was combing the Empress Dowager Cixi's hairstyle, and Lafayette seemed very happy. Li Lianying saw the opportunity, he knew that she didn't listen to Lafayette when he was happy, so he said:

"Lafayette, the slave has something to say to Lafayette." After Li Lianying finished speaking, she glanced at the surrounding eunuchs. The Empress Dowager Cixi knew that Li Lianying had an important situation to report, so she waved her hand and called the other eunuchs to go down. Li Lianying saw that the others were gone, so she spoke.

"The servant heard that the emperor talked with Weng Zhongtang for a long time last night, but he didn't know what to say."

In fact, Li Lianying already knew what the discussion between the monarch and the minister was, which he had heard last night. It turned out that among the eunuchs beside the emperor was his people.

"Let's tell the mourning family as it is."

"Yes, Lafayette, the servant heard that the emperor expressed extreme dissatisfaction with you, saying that you are an old school, saying that you obstructed him from changing the law and sheltered others against him." Li Lianying said with added vinegar, and only stopped when she saw that Lafayette had a displeased look on his face.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Emperor Guangxu is summoning ministers. Guangxu on the throne, with clear eyes and beautiful eyebrows, looks like a girl who has not been out of the cabinet. He stared at the aging Prince Gong Yi?? Say:

"I want to change the law, I don't know what about the sixth uncle?"

Prince Gong hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that the law of the ancestors cannot be changed. ”

Emperor Guangxu couldn't do anything about him, the sixth uncle, but he didn't want to listen to his nonsense.

He knew that if he didn't show him some color, the obstruction from the ministers would get bigger and bigger, so he turned his face sideways and said:

"The judgment of the fathers was to rule the land of the fathers. But now, the land of our ancestors is lost piece by piece, so what is the use of asking for the testimonies! Prince Gong was speechless. (To be continued.) )
